Theres so much in this one that is curious, not properly dealt with, mishandled, misinformation.

Any details took a long time to get out and bystanders at the scene were being essentially misinformed. Several people thought there was a fire. Others didn't know if a shooter was on the loose. I can only assume they were preventing egress to the parking garage (or at least I hope so) but the were reports that people were advised that the situation was under control when the 2nd bomb went off. I suspect why we're hearing very little details is how mismanaged this dangerous scene was.

Next, its inane that they don't release basic information, name, identity of suspect, any background information at all, but they see fit to make specific mention of what kind of explosive compound was used so that any whack job reading it could get the same idea. It seems to me that the type of explosive used, and how it was accessed, is the most logically sensitive information you would want to avoid mentioning.

Next, a lot of people live in the surrounding developments. I wonder what confidence they had in the authorities saying the situation was under control when the 2nd explosion went off, which from reports shook the ground in the area.

"if god exists and he allowed that to happen, then its better that he doesn't exist"

Mounties have not identified any motive for the attack. But the fact the RCMP major crimes unit is leading the investigation, rather than the force’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET), offers some indication of law enforcement thinking.

RCMP K Division spokesman Fraser Logan said the major crimes unit is handling the investigation because “there is no indication that this incident is related to any group or ideology.”

“The Major Crimes Unit will continue to work through partners, such as INSET, to ensure we investigate all avenues as thoroughly as possible.”

Few details were available about Kosolowsky’s life. A court record search showed he had no criminal record in Edmonton.

curious to hear about how tannerite caused the explosion. I thought you could burn tannerite and it wouldn't explode. It's not your typical explosive that easily blows up. Heck I've got lots sitting in my house at the moment...

Look up tannerite car in YouTube. One video, labeled "Happy Canada Day", had a fellow with a .50 Calibre rifle setting of a charge in a car, out in the country, of course. I would suspect how many explosive targets you can buy at once may become limited in the near future.

No casualties, other then the bomber shooting himself. No ties released as of yet to a larger organization. A lone wolf does not give the media much meat to build a large narrative around, so the volume of media coverage is corrspondingly light.
